Summary
The measure changes the Food and Agricultural Code so the secretary must post the annual processing‑strawberry marketing report on the department’s website instead of filing it with the legislature. It also gives the California Walnut Commission authority to recommend walnut quality standards and product labeling, which the secretary may adopt following the procedures of the California Marketing Act. The changes aim to increase transparency for strawberry growers and create consistent standards for walnut producers.
